Have You Ever Purposely Hurt Someone

I dated this girl once, and before we started dating she kind of led me on. She made me feel like she was so crazy about me, but then she started dating someone else. She told me that she felt terrible about it and she only started going out with him because she didn't think I liked her. So we started dating, but I was still mad about what had happened. To make a long story short, I treated her like dirt, and I knew what I was doing. She really started to fall for me, and I would do little things just to make her feel bad. But I felt like that's the only way I could get even with her. Has anyone else ever hurt someone on purpose?

Even though I don't like to admit it, yes I have. My boyfriend and I were having one of our arguments again, and I was really in a foul mood and just started to ignore him. He got mad and ignored me too, and then I was so upset that I failed a quiz in class (which dropped me two percent). I continued to ignore him until about an hour later, when he seems to be really sorry for what he did (and after I whacked him over the head with two binders and a very heavy Biology textbook), and we made up and stuff. But it was really sad, cause I know I probably shouldn't have ignored him, but it was my "time" of the month and I get mood swings a lot, so it was entirely my fault. He didn't have to ignore me, and he should have understood how I felt.

I never done so far that will hurt someone intentionally. I fear that it will happen to me, too. So I ma very careful in dealing with other's feelings. Because I don't want to be hurt the same way, too.

ya when you feel that someone is going to cheat you or playing with you, you have to logically move with them. by this way they will learn how it pained us once. I dont purposely hurt others until and unless i really get hurted or until i really feel that someone is playing with me, when once i feel that someone is really playing with me, i will show them logically as to what i am so that they never come to me again.

Being a person who has been hurt plenty of times, I am not the type to intentionally hurt anyone. I knwo how much it sucks to be hurt and do not enjoy watching anyone suffer. I could not sleep at night if I knew that I had wronged another person.

Not emotionally, well not as badly as you did, no offense! I have played tricks on people because I was really annoyed at them, and I remember physically hurting some guy when I was about 15 because he broke up with me over the phone... but that's about it... Happy mylotting :)

wow,you are awful man,but to be honest,I myself have hurt someone on purpose,I think whoever decide to do that can only be accountable of a moment of immature,so if you old and you still do that,that will make you a horrible person.

I have not done anything wrong to hurt someone on purpose .I can't bear the couciousness even if others who even have done something wrong to me .and i can't reate to him .what i can do it is to forgive him and forget what he has done and then keep away from him .but sometimes ,I will gratitude those who hurt me ,becuse i learned from that not everything can have repaid even you treated him considerately specially love .

I have but not the way you have. I've simply said small things that would get my partner simply PO'd or just hating my guts. I also told 'em small little things that hurt them like crazy. I know what i did was horrible but i did it so they can feel the pain i feel. Also, i kinda led this girl on one time, not by choice but i hate to see ppl unhappy so i kissed her. I told her it was an impulse n she started to hate my guts n cry.

Hello, I have't hurt someone on purpose but I did something and it hurt someone. I got my paybacks for that one.

It's hard to say because there are more cases that people do hurt others but they believe they don't. you know it's human nature to admit one's fault wholeheartedly. I don't deliberately hurt someone by lying or cheating, neve cheat. but there are cases of agression if this can be called hurt on purpose.

Yeah, I honestly have. Usually with me, it's also vengeance. 'Cause I don't feel the need to hurt someone unless they hurt me first. This was the case with my ex. He was abusive and in the end of it all, I just started attacking him cause i couldn't take it anymore!

yes i was hurt when i was dating my first boyfriend who was quite elder to me and i was quite younger to him .I got into abusive relationship and first think he never respected women and was dating other female .I gave him a chance to improve himself but he didn't improve and in the end i had to give up because it was a mental torture which i couldn't take it.I feel it is really bad to hurt somebodys emotions and sentiments so never do that because love is not a give and take relationship it is all about trust, loyality and respect

Yes. If somebody hurts me i just yearn for revenge. I dont know why, i cant name a time in particular because i do it pretty much all the time haha. Well theres certain things i will do, certain i wont. I'm not going to get revenge for every single little thing. But nice going mate that was harsh lol..

Once, and only once. This girl had bullied me all the way through Primary school, and halfway through secondary school. Once she was right up in my face and I couldn't take her anymore so I hit her. I broke her nose. Although I didn't used to think violence was the answer, it worked and she never bothered me again. I got suspended. But she didn't ever get told off for the 7 years of hell she put me through. I have never forgiven the school for that, and will never send my children there because of that.

Hello there Shortyakbar. No and I never did hurt someone just for my sake. I think its really bad and I cannot earn/be happy by doing it. You know love is fair its not about challenge that you also need to do what she did to you right? If you really like/love the person, you have to accept what she did. She has her reason for dating the other guy, because she thought that you didn't like her. So rather than hurting her purposely, you should treat and prove to her that you like her. I think the girl really fell for you, You should be lucky. Its rare to find a girl who is crazy about loving someone.
